There is no map to life. Don’t get stuck in the rut of trying to follow that “map” or “roadmap” that your parents, friends, teachers, etc expect you to follow. Chart your own path, and you’ll be happier for it.

People judge us by the path they’ve seen us walk before. They can’t anticipate our future steps. We, ourselves, look to how things have been, what seems to be the lay of the land, without realizing that the maps are not the territory.

Want to succeed at work? Then don’t try to do your job. Instead, work towards something larger, more meaningful, and something that blends your convictions internally with your best ability to help others externally.
